Just a heads up to CT birders. There is a recent influx of some BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCKS in nearby states, with 3 present in Salem County, NJ since July 8, and just yesterday (7/21) two were found on Long Island, NY.There are no records of this species in CT, so I encourage folks to be alert for this possibility, and to check your local wetlands, marshes, farm ponds, parks, etc.Happy hunting!
